Comments

I have 2 border collies, Ellie,9, and Kip, 3. They keep me walking every morning and if it wasn’t for them, I would probably not get any exercise. They give such good company, humor and increase seratonin levels, I hear. I’ve been living with MS for 20 years and am holding my own!

My beagle Belle should win because she’s my companion, friend and supervisor. The first two don’t need explanation, but the third one does. Belle makes sure I do what I’m supposed to and this is most evident when it’s time to go to bed. She will come over to the chair I’m sitting in and bug me until I start moving. Then she’ll go in the other room and wait for me to go upstairs, and when I do she goes too.

You see I have this nasty habit of falling asleep in my chair, and keep falling back to sleep even after someone rouses me and tells me to go to bed. You all know how important restful sleep is for us; Belle does too!
